Anyone else notice the Fakers schedule so far? Tonight's their 15th game of the season and they've played 11 home games. They're in Golden State tonight. In fact for one month of the NBA season (November 13th until December 12th) they don't leave the state of California. That's pretty nice.

Their wins have been against the Clippers, Knicks, Pistons, Bulls, Grizzlies, Hornets, Rockets and 2 against the Thunder. Not really the most formidable of opponents. They've had 2 good wins against Phoenix and Atlanta, both of which were home.

Imagine the Celtics not leaving the Boston-NY-NJ-PA area for a month? That'd be nice for a veteran squad.

The conspiracy theorist would say that Whistling Phil wasn't sure if he could coach this year coming off of surgery and was considering only coaching the Lakers home games, so Stern hooked up the early season schedule for the Lakers so Phil Jackson would have more time to recuperate from surgery.

Yeah makes sense. You'd think they'd want their own fan base though. It's like the Nets will always be in the shadow of the Knicks. Perhaps if they move to Brooklyn they'll get a following of their own.

So are we big time now that we have Lakers fans posting insults on our site? lol. And the whole rationale that there are so many teams sharing the same arena doesn't support your argument at all. In fact it makes the Lakers getting so many home games in a short period even more strange. San diego and Anaheim don't want the Clippers. Maybe Buffalo will take them back. ;)

No I simply stated that if the Celtics had a similar schedule where they didn't leave Mass, NY, NJ, or PA for a month, at any point in the season, that it would be great and I'd take it. No other team has any schedule comparable to theres.
